If you happen to be in a light-pollution-free area with nice weather, you'll probably be able to see about 60 or 70 meteors streaking through the moonless sky, according to NASA estimates.

This makes the summertime display one of only three annual showers that produce this many.

The shower is expected to peak on the night of Sunday August 12, though Saturday and Monday will also offer excellent views.

As meteors enter the earth's atmosphere they leave streaks of light in the sky, which some people call shooting stars.

The Perseid meteors are actually pieces of debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle, the largest object known to repeatedly pass by Earth.

If you're planning on watching the Perseid meteor shower, bear in mind that it will take at least 30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness.

In August 2016, the shower produced about 150 meteors an hour and in 2009, the estimated peak was about 173 but some of the fainter meteors could have been washed out by Moonlight. During a solar eclipse, the moon passes between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on planet Earth.
